Here's the part no one warns you about: the storm makes a mess, but the rebuild makes the debris. Tear-out of flooded rooms, re-roofing, new fence, replaced pool cage — that's more tonnage than the wind ever moved. It deserves a plan, not a pile.
Wet drywall, insulation, carpet, cabinets, and flooring come out fast — mold sets the deadline. This is the heaviest, nastiest phase: soaked material weighs 3–4× dry. Put a 7-day 20-yard bin ($485) in the driveway the day the gut starts, load as you demo (level, heavy stuff spread flat), and expect tonnage: 2 tons are included, overage is a predictable $90/ton. A full flood gut often needs a swap — call it at 75% full.
If the roof is being redone, that's its own dense debris stream — asphalt tear-off rentals run $550, tile $650, heavy $750, priced for what shingle and tile actually weigh. Coordinate with your roofer on who supplies the bin; if you rent it, you control the schedule and keep the receipt in your claim file.
Weeks of packaging, offcuts, old fixtures, and the fence/pool-cage remnants finally dealt with. Debris trickles rather than spikes — one final bin near the end usually sweeps the site clean, and it's the cheap, satisfying one.
